The Padres kick off another little two-game series, this time against the Diamondbacks. Bryan Mitchell kicked things off on the mound and otherwise crushed it. A few Pads bats were hot, and the defense was on point.
Mitchell put in a great 5 innings of work, allowing just a single run and five hits. Across those 5 innings he walked three. Thanks to Mitchell, and a strong showing from Wingenter, Castillo, Stammen, and Yates’ relief efforts, the Padres had the Snakes locked down.
Good pitching might not have even mattered with Franmil Reyes at the plate today.
